'Nothing is there in our hands!...Everything is in the hands of the god!!'....Is this correct??

Dear all….THIS IS FOR ALL…

It is said that “Nothing is there in our hands!...Everything is in the hands of the god!!”

Is this correct and acceptable??

What is wrong in this?

When we teach the children like this then they tend to think ‘If nothing is in my hands then why should I try for anything?...I am not sure of getting what I want!...So, why should I try?...My efforts can go waste!...If everything is in the hands of the god, then let me as well only pray to god!...My parents pray to god that if their dreams come true then they will do lots of offerings to god. So, I will also follow the same route!...I will strike a business deal with the god!...I will pray to god that if my dreams come true, then I will give him something commensurate with the things I get from him!'

...So, these are some of the things that can appear in the mind of the children and adults and they might totally bank upon the god. Or they might take immoral routes to achieve their dreams…the stress and anxiety that ‘if nothing is there in my hands how will I get it….i want it…somehow I will achieve that!’ will make them do wrong things and land up in legal issues. This concept can also make them follow superstitions.

What is correct?.....”Everything is in our hands!!...Even god is in our hands!!”

How is this correct?

We will not get what we want or what we dream. We will get what we deserve. God will decide that!...So, god does not give anything from his bag. He ensures that you get what you deserve. How is this decided?...God decides this from ‘who we are?...What we do?...Our attitude to people, society, world, earth and universe…If we are good, self responsible, socially responsible, human beings with value systems and moral values etc…i.e our own deeds…. So, god does not give anything from his kitty but just gives what we deserve from this universe through our own deeds. So, if we want good from god, then we have to be good and do good.

If we are good, we are sure to only get things that are good for us. But if we think god has given bad, then it is our own wrong perception. We can’t blame god for this. Also, if we are bad and do bad, then we are sure to get only bad from god. No point in blaming him.

We decide what we deserve through our own deeds and god has no role to play in this. If you think god makes some people do good and some to do bad, then your perception of god is wrong. God always thinks good for all. But it is only we, who make us get bad, through our own bad deeds. God is helpless in this!!

With this concept, we will work…we will learn…we will not become lazy…we will not become parasite on god…we will be energetic and self confident…we will be good…we will always be conscious not to do immoral and illegal wrong things…we will be good human beings…we will be closer to god…god will use us to do good for others…god will select us as his disciple…god will use us as media to do good for all, society, world, earth and universe. We will become the messiah of god. We will not blame god or others or fate for our ‘perceived’ sufferings. We will know that we only are responsible for all these and no one else is responsible. We will know that we will decide our own fate. We will think in a positive manner…perceive in a health enhancing way…for all unpleasant or sad events in life. We will always be calm, composed, contented, fulfilled. We will know the reasons for all the happenings in our life. We will know how to correct our life or destiny or life path.

“Nothing is there in our hands!...Everything is in the hands of the god!!”…will make us surrender totally to an extent of irresponsibility…not interested…lethargy…laziness…we will not do our best…our dreams can get curtailed…no energy in us…we may not put in the efforts required…or our maximum efficiency…we are likely to close and shut down our brains for alternative thinking....problem solving...facing challenges in life...so, we may not learn and grow or mature or evolve at all!!...At the drop of the hat we will land up on the feet of god...every second of life...we will not be independent...limits knowledge and skill development!!

Therefore, “Nothing is there in our hands!...Everything is in the hands of the god!!” is not an appropriate statement. ”Everything is in our hands!!...Even god is in our hands!!...God does what we should get!” is the appropriate statement. This does not mean we will get egoistic that we are superior to god.

Sometimes we might feel that inspite of doing bad, some people around us are enjoying all the pleasures and happiness on this earth. God decides what is good or bad. God decides what the other person deserves and when. So, the profit and loss accounts of individuals in the books of god is always perfect. The balance sheet of happiness, peace and good health of body-mind-relationships are always balanced...left side equals the right side!!

Also our understanding of the concept of god is important....many follow incorrect concepts and therefore are not peaceful...happy...obsessed...addicted...superstitious!!

Peacefully yours...rams...Psychologist!!
